Easily the most forced idea in the movie.
Who didn't see that coming from a mile away?

Because it's a great action movie.
If the Dawn remake were an original film, it's possible it could've stood on its own. Since it's a remake of a classic, however, it's impossible not to make comparisons.
When it comes down to it, the original Dawn was about something. And when it was funny, it was genuinely funny. And when it was trying to play the terror card, it could be downright brutal.

Not really other than than the fact that they share the same name and have the same basic setting. They are two very different movies with two very different goals. The original was trying to be a comic book-esque satire about consumerism. The remake was just trying to be a fun, fast-paced action movie. Both succeeded.

I thought it was pretty cool. Honestly don't remember ever seeing a zombie baby in another movie unless you count Dead Alive
